1. Psalm 124 comes to mean a lot to Laurie Hale during the course of this book. Have you ever experienced the feeling of the waters overwhelming your soul? What did you do about it?

2. Laurie enjoys organizing church activities, her home, her friends, and her family. Is it possible to be involved in the church and be busy with the work of God—and yet not have a relationship with him? Has that ever happened to you?

3. Laurie didn't realize the extent of the emptiness in her soul until her daughter attempted suicide. Do you think God used this experience as a wake-up call?

4. Do you think Kate Parsons intended for Randi to die? What do you think will happen to Kate now?

5. Do you think the "mob mentality" is a reality? What would you have done if you had been on the bridge that night?

6. Tanya Peizer is a single mother doing the best she can to support herself and her daughter. Do you think she was partly to blame for Randi's being out the night she was killed? Tanya thinks she could have changed things if she'd been home. Do you?

7. Is Tanya's forgiveness of Laurie at the end of the book realistic? Do you think she will be able to forgive Kate Parsons?

8. Forgiveness is an important part of the Christian walk. Have there been times in your life when it has been particularly difficult to forgive?
